Cannot understand the bad reviews I've seen!

I bought a Ford Fusion in 2009 with these tires and 've just hit 88000 miles and still have not hit the tread markers. I'm heading out on another long road trip and will replace the tires just because its time. I could probably get through the fall wth the tread they have, but no need to take a risk when heading out of town. These tires have been great. Very good in rain and snow, no issue with excessive road noise and they have lasted longer than I ever expected. The negative reviews I've read here just blow my mind...how could the same tires impact people so differently. for my money these tires have been great!

Bimmer 328i Driver

I purchased this set of run-flat ContiPro Contact tires, as the OEM replacement for my '08 BMW 328i Sedan. The original set achieved 49K miles, which I thought was amazing. I drive mostly highway miles, with the remainder being local, in-traffic, fairly aggressive miles. However, this replacement set shows significantly more wear (at wear bar), at the 21K mile point. I feel like the useable tread life will likely run out, well before the 49K "bar" that had been set by the originals. The performance of the tire is better than average, with very good wet/ dry traction. Icy roads obviously offer a substantially greater challenge, leaving the tires as "so-so" performers. Braking distance is excellent on dry roads, and very good on wet. The performance, however, could also be greatly attributed to this car, in particular. Road noise levels are ok, but should/ could be better. I would not say that it's obnoxious, but I have had much better results from a non-run-flat tire.

Fantastic tire on my new car

These tires were the factory installed set and are exceptional.They make my 2012 civic ride like it's big brother accord. They are very quiet, comfortable and have remarkable grip in the corners and wet weather. I would recommend these to anyone who wants an upgrade to their factory tires.

Great Value

I purchased a set of Continental ContiProContacts 3 years and 45,000 miles ago. I found these tires to be very good touring tires. Comfortable, great traction in all conditions, quiet, and very stable at highway speeds. At 45,000 miles i still had a decent amount of tread left but decided to replace all 4 with another set of identical tires. Great tire for the money.

Poor Tread Life

These tires came as OE, on my '10 VW CC Sport. I am at 25k miles, and I they are already at the tread wear indicators. Tires have been rotated accordingly, with spot on tire pressure. I am unimpressed with the tread life. Never have I had to source out new tires so early.

Only works for certain cars.

I think these tires works best for certain cars like BMW the E90 3-series, etc. I guess the auto and tire manufacture develops and tests the suspension together with this product. I had the Bridge Stones OEM Run Flat when I first got my BMW back in 06. They are trash after driven only for about 20,000miles, worn out almost, super noisy, feel like I was riding on rims only. Comparably, these Conti provide overall better handling, comfort, less road noise, regardless they are new or driven over 40,000miles. The tread wear is better than many other recommend OEM tires for BMWs with better pricing too. Traction is okay even for rainy days, and occasional trip on snow during the winters. That said, it may not be a good choice for other cars, say Honda Odyssey. They also required Run Flats, but may work better with other brands vice-versa, like those Bridge Stones.

Still the Best!

This the fourth set on Continental tires that I've bought and we've been greatly satisfied with the comfortable ride, no road noise, wet handling, durable construction, longevity, and no flats! Recent new SUV and Trucks had different tire brands from the manufacturer, but this 2020 Honda Civic Coupe came with the 215 50 R17 ProContact TX tires and they have performed well for 56k miles, so with tires still at 4/32 we decided to put a set of these ContiProContact tires on as they are about the same plus a notch above in tread depth and expected life.

3rd Set on Car

My 07 GTI came with these tires as OE, 50K on first set, 55K on second set. The 3rd set will be mounted on Friday. I stuck with the Conti's because they have served me well and figure that changing to another less expensive tire may prove to be a bad decision. Only issue I have is that they aren't the greatest in the snow so I have a set of winter tires to help with that matter. In the rain these tires are fine, including when they are at the end of tread life. I had to make an emergency stop in the rain when the first set had 45K on them and I was shocked that they didn't brake free on the wet road and the anti-lock brakes didn't even kick in. My experience is that some tires work great on some cars but poorly on others. My other car a 2000 Audi A4 has the same tire and they wear somewhat quicker but still perform very well.

Outperforms all others in its class!

My everyday style of driving is likened to that of a race driver. I have driven on these tires all the while testing them to their limits on dry speed, handling and braking, and wet speed, handling and braking with Superb Results! I don't go anywhere without my ContiProContact tires and I leave all casual drivers, commuters, speedsters and long haul drivers in the zig-zaggety-zag-zag-ziggety dust. ContiProContact: Trust no others! Hailing from the south eastern U.S., ah-ha-ha-ha.

Will not buy again.

19 thousand miles and thread has disappeared... my wife drove the same way on other brand tires and lasted over 30 thousand miles, and another set at 35 thousand. Suspension is in good order, and road conditions are at the same location. So that can't be the issue. Just the tire type itself. Good grip, quiet tires, but just don't last.

Thanks for the review. Please note, if the tires are evenly worn down to 2/32" of tread remaining, with records of rotations every 6,000 - 8,000 miles, the place of purchase and process an exchange. Please select the following link to determine if your tires are eligible for warranty replacement: http://bit.ly/2xcX8qr
